Design wise, mix floor and table lamp bases for pop but always match the shades. You’ll have individual style in the bases while maintaining a consistent theme with the shades.

Rug It the Right Way

You should pick your rug before your pillows, blankets, and other accentuating furnishings. Your rug will be the anchor that holds down the aesthetic principal of the room.

Ideally, your area rug should at least reach under the front legs of your couch and chairs. This will give the area a welcoming feel with a clear flow along with establishing the conversational area.
